You reply to the group. I, for one, delete emails that come from newsgroup
postings unless I know and trust the correspondent. I do not welcome private
correspondence and nor do any of the MVPs, because this is a peer-to-peer
newsgroup and all messages should be to the group for the benefit of all.

Post your message to the group.

Thank you

Charles, it asks for the Sender's name and email...
that's you. Every post, whether a reply or a new message
you have to enter this info. To reply directly to
someone, look for their email in their post.

Hit the "Respond to Sender" button on the bar at the top of the message if you
want to send him an email response, otherwise hit the "Respond to All (or
Group)" button for your response to appear in the NG.
 
If you're so upset about receiving e-mail from people who post, in OE, go to
Tools > Accounts > News tab > Properties button. In the next dialog box is
a place to change your e-mail address. This only affects what is displayed
in messages and doesn't affect your receipt of mail; it has the same thing
in the Mail tab.

I did this years ago after posting under my real name and e-mail address.
Got several unpleasant items in the inbox, wholly unrelated to the
newsgroups. So this is a good security move that I'm surprised you haven't
taken.

So now you know what all the MVP'S want?
 
I posted as I did in the unlikely event that she hadn't. As she said, "I,

any of the MVPs, and because this is a peer-to-peer newsgroup , all messages

an e-mail in her inbox, signature aside, plus she gave the way to actually
obtain her address.

I don't think he was asking that bitch
*Editied for content ;)*
Dear Card Carrying Bitch,
I don't understand why you post. Too often you are rude
and not helpful at all

Here's what I mean:
-Lines marked with an * are part of the original post.
-My comments are in brackets

(WTF is your problem, if he wants to post, then that's
his choice. I WOULD agree with you, if I had seen this
question repeadily posted)

seeing the activation

questions before

pops into your head?

(Talk about being b***hy)

THE FOLLOWING ONE WAS BY FAR THE RUDEST:

Yes, there is a way to obtain my address, but someone has to go to the
trouble of reassembling it first. If I recieve a post from someone who isn't
in my address book, then it goes into a subfolder of the junk mail folder
and I peruse it at my leisure. If it looks as though I wish to correspond
with the person I will reply otherwise the mail is deleted and the sender
added to my 'junk senders list' to be deleted at source.
